Re: Griffith Rigney Born 1785 Virginia

Four of us "Rigney" 2nd cousins just recently found each other via message boards and ancestry.com.A.Waymon Rigney is our common great-grandfather.Griffith is possibly Waymon's father or grandfather - it's complicated.Griffith apparently fathered a child w/Nancy Jennings (that would be Sarah)while married to Lavina.We also believed he fathered additional children w/Betsy Sheldon - again while married to Lavina.

We have never found Virginia Angeletta "Letta" RIGNEY living w/Griffith but who knows how many kids he really had or who raised them.Could Gwinn really be Guinn?There were Guinn families in the neighorhood I believe.

Hope to hear from you - maybe you are another cousin. Carol Girvin rdgirvin@hotmail.com
